Would like to differ:
*weak anthropic principle*: *"...conditions that are observed in the
universe must allow the observer to exist."*.
The observer here is the Free world/ILUGC/etc...
Free world is not just a reaction to Microsoft monopoly / business
practices.
Hundreds of years of scientific / engineering development was based on
sharing information and learning from others. That was artificially
interrupted using copyright to restrict freedom of others by clever software
vendors, Microsoft being the most successful and evil of the lot.
FOSS and ILUGC are the natural way to develop and use software, it is not
just a reaction to Microsoft.
Without Microsoft FOSS / ILUGC will very well exist and flourish.
Linus Torvalds quote:
"Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely
unintentional side effect."
